Dufferin-Peel is a dynamic network of 144 distinctly Catholic schools, each of which serves a diverse community of learners. With approximately 88,000 students and 10,000 employees, we are one of the largest school boards in Ontario, and the second largest Catholic board.
Each year, an incredible number of board and school-based activities, events and initiatives take place, many of which the wider community may not be aware. The following is intended to provide you with a greater perspective of the breadth and width of those activities, events and initiatives that have taken place during the 2008-09 school year.
These activities, events and initiatives indicate our commitment to the three core priorities of the Ministry of Education, namely, higher levels of student achievement, reducing gaps in student achievement and increased public confidence in our publically funded Catholic schools. Parallel with these priorities is our own goal of placing Children First.
Check out the range of system events, activities and initiatives in which we have engaged as a system.
